Desire Z in Safe House - G2 and Desire Z General

My local abc news were doing a review, of the new Denzel Washington movie Safe House. It looks like he uses the desire z in one of the scenes. Pretty cool if you ask me, here it is took a pic.

bout time that they started throwing androids into movies instead of friggen iphones all the time! awesome

WHOA! Random but I love it xD

I saw a commercial I think it might of have been for the Army or something but they showed the G2 like 4 times lol i was like YES !

Refreshing, but not the only ones who do it
The main character in Grimm has an Android phone. Mozzie from White Collar uses one, as does Agent Jones.
Tony DiNozzo(sp?) from NCIS uses an Evo 4g.
The main character in Suits uses one as well.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. Good eye .

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

omg I hate you!
Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch

I did a rough estimate of the android phones and came with 11+k and that was like and hour ago. The iphone is only at 9k.
I dont see anything sad about android winning, even if by not much. Its a new OS that people are just now discovering. The only thing sad I can see is that there are still that many people still stuck on Apple phones.

Yep, I'd get an iPhone 4 too, simply because I like it's design a little bit more than the Evo and I love it's keyboard. I'm not a huge fan of apps anyways...I just need texting, a damn browser and a good keyboard.

The on screen keyboard on the iPhone is better than the one's on the EVO. At least they are for me.
In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple
Ha wow there are already better phones, you are about too start a flame war, steve jobs can suck it and all his communistic features.

But really, EVO slider tablet? Damn sick.
In all honesty, when I read that article I went from to :| to X(
Okay guys, we had a run with our top of the line phone. Kills me that we're about to be outed by the "EVO 2". Wasn't expecting a predecessor so quickly.
Lastly, I was at a public event here in Las Vegas, Nevada today called Aviation Nation where the US air force does a little bit of showing off. Well anyways, I saw a surprising amount of EVO's there, at least 6. Versus 4 or 5 iPhone 4's.
What can I say? Phones gone particularly mainstream.

While you're at it, tell them never to release the WiMax 2 Standard and to be sure that all of the newer version of Android 2.3/3/4/5 and so on will work on the HTC Evo.
Also, get Steve Jobs on the line and have Apple file for bankruptcy.
Thanks man, totally appreciate it.

Where does it say the screen would be 3.7 inches? I looked over the article and application, and neither mentions any specs, let alone screen size, unless I'm just blind, of course.

The Desire Z/G2 is 3.7". It also might be a Sprint version of the Merge coming to VZW. That one has a 3.8" screen. I'm just going by the leaked pic of the Knight/Speedy from a couple weeks back. It was noticeably smaller than the EVO.
Do you think it'll be more like shift or evo?
I hope it'll be evo size with full slide out tilting keyboard like touch pro2. I can deal with a little more thickness. But I don't think I want something I can't fit in my pants pocket.

That phone is more realistic and it would look sick. It would really suck if you lost the bluetooth attached headset. We can expect phones like this around 2015-2020.

no. nanotech can allow both things to happen. It has 3 different "panels". they can close off the panel with the coffee maker so nothing gets in it, and then the shaver can be on top of the keyboard panel, with a small tank like holder so hair doesn't go down to the keyboard.

I did find that quite nice. Bout damn time you don't see the iPhone plastered on every commercial, TV show, tech site, or ham sammich at your local gas station.
On another note.... Durbin and Tyler would have been awesome.... but eeh... Durbin and Judas Priest was sweet, too.
Weirdest part of the finale? Lil Wayne and TLC..... A) two COMPLETELY different ranges of music..... with only one actually being MUSIC... B) isn't TLC short one member?
